NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

TopBuild is a Delaware corporation incorporated on June 30, 2015, and is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “BLD.” We report our business in 2 segments: Installation and Distribution. Our Installation segment primarily installs insulation and other building products. Our Distribution segment primarily sells and distributes insulation and other building products. Our segments are based on our operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our chief operating decision maker.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to state fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2019, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Statement Presentation. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. All intercompany transactions between TopBuild entities have been eliminated.

Business Combinations. The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, and liabilities assumed. These estimates include, but are not limited to, discount rates, projected future revenue growth, cost synergies and expected cash flows, customer attrition rates, useful lives and other prospective information. Additionally, we recognize customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and non-competition agreements as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. The fair value of these intangible assets is determined primarily using the income approach and using current industry information. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period in which they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

Share-based Compensation. Our share-based compensation program currently consists of RSAs and stock options. Share-based compensation expense is reported in selling, general, and administrative expense. We do not capitalize any compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards. The income tax benefits and deficiencies associated with share-based awards are reported as a component of income tax expense. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are included in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities while shares withheld for tax-withholding are reported in financing activities under the caption “Taxes withheld and paid on employees’ equity awards” in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Award forfeitures are accounted for in the period they occur.

†Stock options expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.

‡Expense is reversed if award is forfeited prior to vesting.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is disaggregated between our Installation and Distribution segments. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by segment is included in Note 6 – Segment Information.

We recognize revenue for our Installation segment using the percentage of completion method of accounting with respect to each particular order within a given customer’s contract, based on the amount of material installed at that customer’s location and the associated labor costs, as compared to the total expected cost for the particular order. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer is able to receive and utilize the benefits provided by our services. Each contract contains one or more individual orders, which are based on services delivered. When a contract modification is made, typically the remaining goods or services are considered distinct and we recognize revenue for the modification as a separate performance obligation. When insulation and installation services are bundled in a contract, we combine these items into one performance obligation as the overall promise is to transfer the combined item.

Revenue from our Distribution segment is recognized when title to products and risk of loss transfers to our customers. This represents the point in time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the product. The determination of when control is deemed transferred depends on the shipping terms that are agreed upon in the contract.

At time of sale, we record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and other volume-based incentives based on historical experience, which is continuously adjusted. The duration of our contracts with customers is relatively short, generally less than a 90-day period, therefore there is not a significant financing component when considering the determination of the transaction price which gets allocated to the individual performance obligations, generally based on standalone selling prices. Additionally, we consider shipping costs charged to a customer as a fulfillment cost rather than a promised service and expense as incurred. Sales taxes, when incurred, are recorded as a liability and excluded from revenue on a net basis.

We record a contract asset when we have satisfied our performance obligation prior to billing and a contract liability generally when a customer payment is received prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligation. The difference between the beginning and ending balances of our contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the timing of our performance and the customer’s payment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The following table represents our contract assets and contract liabilities with customers, in thousands:


	Included in Line Item on	As of
	Condensed Consolidated	September 30,		December 31,
	Balance Sheets	2019		2018
Contract Assets:
Receivables, unbilled	Receivables, net	$	62,072	$	61,339

Contract Liabilities:
Deferred revenue	Accrued liabilities	$	16,685	$	19,963

Our contract liabilities are normally recognized to net sales in the immediately subsequent reporting period due to the generally short-term nature of our contracts with customers.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

Leases

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This standard requires a lessee to recognize certain leases on its balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective transition method with the optional transition relief provided in targeted improvements ASU 2018-11, which allows the new standard to be applied in financial year 2019. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of $99.1 million and $101.6 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019 on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. There was 0 cumulative adjustment required to be recorded to our beginning retained earnings balance. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows for any periods presented.

We elected certain practical expedients allowed under ASC 842 – Leases. As such, we did not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification of existing leases, or the initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition, we elected by class of underlying asset to not separate fixed non-lease components from the lease component. Further, for all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we elected not to record any right of use asset or lease liability. We declined the option to use hindsight in determining lease term, assessing likelihood that a lease purchase option will be exercised or in assessing impairment of right of use asset for all classes of assets. To initially measure our lease liability, we used our IBR at January 1, 2019 based on the remaining lease term for all existing leases. See Note 7 – Leases for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. This guidance introduces a current expected credit loss (CECL) model for the recognition of impairment losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. The CECL model replaces current GAAP’s incurred loss model. Under CECL, companies will record an allowance through current earnings for the expected credit loss for the life of the financial asset upon initial recognition of the financial asset. This update is effective for us at the beginning of 2020 with early adoption permitted at the beginning of 2019. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 with a cumulative adjustment to our beginning retained earnings balance. We have begun our initial evaluation of financial assets subject to this guidance and are developing a new accounting policy for CECL recognition. We are still determining the impact to our financial position upon adoption.

In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. This update is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, and the new standard will be applied on a prospective basis. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020, and we do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In August 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The new standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including adjustments to Level 3 fair value measurement disclosures as well as the removal of disclosures around Level 1 and Level 2 transfers. This update is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The amendments to the guidance will be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, in accordance with the requirements of this standard. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020, and we do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

We have 2 reporting units which are also our operating and reporting segments: Installation and Distribution. Both reporting units contain goodwill. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the applicable reporting unit based on whether the acquired assets and liabilities relate to the operations of and determination of the fair value of such unit. Goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the reporting unit.

The estimated fair values of the 2 reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values based on the most recent annual impairment test which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Amended Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

On March 28, 2018, the Company executed an amendment to its credit agreement, which primarily facilitated the acquisition of USI by (i) extending until August 29, 2018, the period during which the Company could access the $100.0 million delayed draw term loan feature and (ii) providing that the Company could issue up to $500.0 million of Senior Notes in connection with its acquisition of USI. On May 1, 2018, the Company closed on its acquisition of USI. The acquisition was funded through net proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Notes on April 25, 2018 together with the net proceeds from the $100.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment accessed on May 1, 2018 under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. These funds were also used for the payment of related fees and expenses, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The following table outlines the key terms of our Amended Credit Agreement (dollars in thousands):


Senior secured term loan facility (original borrowing) (a)	$	250,000
Additional delayed draw term loan (b)	$	100,000

Additional term loan and/or revolver capacity available under incremental facility (c)	$	200,000

Revolving Facility	$	250,000
Sublimit for issuance of letters of credit under Revolving Facility (d)	$	100,000
Sublimit for swingline loans under Revolving Facility (d)	$	20,000

Scheduled maturity date		5/05/2022

Table ofContents

TOPBUILD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(a)	The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a term loan limit of $350.0 million; $250.0 million was drawn on May 5, 2017.

(b)	On May 1, 2018, the net proceeds from the $100.0 million delayed draw term loan were used to partially fund the USI acquisition.

(c)	Additional borrowing capacity is available under the incremental facility, subject to certain terms and conditions (including existing or new lenders providing commitments in respect of such additional borrowing capacity).

(d)	Use of the sublimits for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans reduces the availability under the Revolving Facility.

Interest payable on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on an applicable margin rate plus, at our option, either:

●

A base rate determined by reference to the highest of either (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, (ii) Bank of America’s “prime rate,” or (iii) the LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits with a term of one month, plus 1.00 percent; or

●

A LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowings.

The applicable margin rate is determined based on our Secured Leverage Ratio. In the case of base rate borrowings, the applicable margin rate ranges from 0.00 percent to 1.50 percent and in the case of LIBOR rate borrowings, the applicable margin ranges from 1.00 percent to 2.50 percent. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are prepayable at the Company’s option without premium or penalty. The Company is required to make prepayments with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and certain extraordinary receipts.

Revolving Facility

The Company has outstanding standby letters of credit that secure our financial obligations related to our workers’ compensation, general insurance, and auto liability programs. These standby letters of credit, as well as any outstanding amount borrowed under our Revolving Facility, reduce the availability under the Revolving Facility. The following table summarizes our availability under the Revolving Facility, in thousands:


	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Revolving Facility	$	250,000	$	250,000
Less: standby letters of credit		(61,382)		(59,288)
Availability under Revolving Facility	$	188,618	$	190,712

We are required to pay commitment fees to the Lenders in respect of any unutilized commitments. The commitment fees range from 0.15 percent to 0.275 percent per annum, depending on our Secured Leverage Ratio. We must also pay customary fees on outstanding letters of credit.

Senior Notes

The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at 5.625% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on November 1, 2018. The Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2026, unless redeemed early or repurchased. We have the right to redeem the Senior Notes under certain circumstances, and, if we undergo a change in control, we must make an offer to repurchase all of the Senior Notes then outstanding at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to, but not including, the repurchase date.

Equipment Notes

During 2018, the Company executed $26.6 million of equipment notes for the purpose of financing the purchase of vehicles and equipment. During 2019, the company issued additional equipment notes for approximately $10.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s equipment notes each have a five year maturity through 2024 and bear interest at fixed rates between 2.8% and 4.4%.

Covenant Compliance

The indenture governing our Senior Notes contains customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, generally limit our ability to incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; to create liens; to pay dividends, acquire shares of capital stock, make payments on subordinated debt or make investments; to place limitations on distributions from certain subsidiaries; to issue guarantees; to issue or sell the capital stock of certain subsidiaries; to sell assets; to enter into transactions with affiliates; and to effect mergers. The Senior Notes indenture also contains customary events of default, subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee under the indenture or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The Senior Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we are not required to register either the Senior Notes or the guarantees in the future.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness or liens; to make certain investments or loans; to make certain restricted payments; to enter into consolidations, mergers, sales of material assets, and other fundamental changes; to transact with affiliates; to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends; or to make certain accounting changes. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a Net Leverage Ratio and minimum FCCR throughout the term of the agreement. The following table sets forth the maximum Net Leverage Ratios and minimum FCCR required:


Quarter Ending	Maximum Net Leverage Ratio	Minimum FCCR
June 30, 2018 through September 30, 2018	3.75:1.00	1.25:1.00
December 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019	3.50:1.00	1.25:1.00
September 30, 2019 and each fiscal quarter end thereafter	3.25:1.00	1.25:1.00

The following table outlines the key financial covenants effective for the period covered by this Quarterly Report:

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value on Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We measure our contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations at fair value. For more information see Note 12 –Business Combinations.

Table ofContents

TOPBUILD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Fair Value on Non-Recurring Basis

Fair value measurements were applied to our long-term debt portfolio. We believe the carrying value of our term loan approximates the fair market value primarily due to the fact that the non-performance risk of servicing our debt obligations, as reflected in our business and credit risk profile, has not materially changed since we assumed our debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, due to the floating-rate nature of our term loan, the market value is not subject to variability solely due to changes in the general level of interest rates as is the case with a fixed-rate debt obligation. Based on active market trades of our Senior Notes close to September 30, 2019 (Level 1 fair value measurement), we estimate that the fair value of the Senior Notes is approximately $419.0 million compared to a gross carrying value of $400.0 million at September 30, 2019.

During all periods presented, there were 0 transfers between fair value hierarchical levels.

7. LEASES

We have operating leases for our installation branch locations, distribution centers, our Branch Support Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, vehicles and certain equipment. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any finance leases. At the inception of a contract, we determine whether the contract is, or contains, a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Our facilities operating leases have lease and non-lease fixed cost components, which we account for as one single lease component in calculating the present value of minimum lease payments. Variable lease and non-lease cost components are expensed as incurred and are primarily included in cost of sales on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including future option periods the Company reasonably expects to exercise, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.

We recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which will be reflected in the calculation of the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. The lease liability is discounted based on our IBR at the time of initial adoption of ASU 2016-02 for all exiting leases or upon a modification to the lease term and at the time of lease commencement for all future leases. Our IBR includes significant assumptions regarding our secured borrowing rates obtained on equipment note issuances and adjustments for differences in the remaining lease term, underlying assets and market conditions for companies with similar credit qualities as well as interest rate index fluctuations.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term as the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain vehicle lease agreements have residual value guarantees at the end of the lease which require us to return the asset with a specified percentage of the original or other calculated value.

The components of lease expense were as follows and are primarily included in cost of sales on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, in thousands:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

8. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were 23.2 percent and 22.0 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were 25.2 percent and 23.1 percent, respectively. The 2019 rates are lower due to the impact of discrete benefits related to share-based compensation and a favorable return to accrual adjustment when compared to prior year, partially offset by the impact of state tax rate changes.

A tax benefit of $1.3 million and $5.1 million related to share-based compensation was recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a discrete item in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

At September 30, 2019, the net deferred tax liability of $161.7 million consisted of net long-term deferred tax assets of $11.8 million and net long-term deferred tax liabilities of $173.5 million. The change in the net deferred tax liability was primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the acquisition of USI and related tax elections and a return to accrual adjustment for 2018 tax returns filed in 2019, partially offset by state tax rate changes.

9. INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.

Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury stock method.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective July 1, 2015, our eligible employees commenced participation in the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program. The 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program authorizes the Board to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and dividend equivalents. All grants are made by issuing new shares and no more than 4.0 million shares of common stock may be issued under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program. As of September 30, 2019, we had 2.3 million shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program.

Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expense. The income tax effect associated with share-based compensation awards is included in income tax expense.

Acquisition related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $0.1 million. Acquisition related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were $0.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. Acquisition costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisitions

On January 10, 2018, we acquired ADO, a distributor of insulation accessories, located in Plymouth, Minnesota. The purchase price of approximately $23.0 million was funded by cash on hand of $22.2 million and contingent consideration of $0.8 million.

On January 18, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Santa Rosa, a residential and commercial insulation company located in Miami, Florida. The purchase price of approximately $5.8 million was funded by cash on hand of $5.6 million and contingent consideration of $0.2 million.

On May 1, 2018, we acquired USI, a leading distributor and installer of insulation in both residential and commercial construction markets. Our payment of $486.5 million, which included the purchase price of $475.0 million and adjustments for cash and working capital, was funded through net proceeds from the issuance on April 25, 2018, of the Senior Notes together with the net proceeds from the $100.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment under our Amended Credit Agreement.

Estimates of acquired intangible assets related to the 2018 acquisitions are as follows, as of September 30, 2019, dollars in thousands:


	Estimated Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (Years)
2018 Acquisitions:
Customer relationships	$	168,820		12
Trademarks and trade names		11,260		9
Non-competition agreements		1,260		5
Total intangible assets for 2018 acquisitions	$	181,340		11

As third party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the foregoing transactions are completed, and customer post-closing reviews are concluded, adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, through the end of each measurement period, generally one year following the applicable acquisition date. Various insignificant adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, have been made to certain business combinations since the respective dates of acquisition.

Goodwill to be recognized in connection with these acquisitions is attributable to the synergies expected to be realized and improvements in the businesses after the acquisitions. Of the $287.0 million of goodwill recorded from the 2018 acquisitions, $33.2 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Contingent Consideration

On February 27, 2017, we acquired substantially all of the assets of EcoFoam, a residential and light commercial insulation installation company with locations in Colorado Springs and Denver, Colorado. The purchase price of approximately $22.3 million was funded by cash on hand of $20.2 million and contingent consideration of $2.1 million. The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild to the sellers of EcoFoam based on EcoFoam’s attainment of annual revenue targets over a three-year period. The total amount of undiscounted contingent consideration which TopBuild may be required to pay under the arrangement is $2.5 million. The fair value of $2.1 million contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was estimated by applying the income approach using discounted cash flows. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. The significant assumption includes a discount rate of 9.5%. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets. We made contingent payments of $0.8 million in the second quarters of 2019 and 2018.

The acquisition of ADO included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild to the sellers of ADO based on the achievement of certain EBITDA thresholds over a two-year period. The range of the undiscounted amounts TopBuild may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between 0 and $1.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $0.8 million was estimated by applying the income approach using discounted cash flows. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. The significant assumption includes a discount rate of 9.5%. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets.

The acquisition of Santa Rosa included a contingent consideration arrangement that required additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild based on the achievement of a gross revenue target for 2018. The range of undiscounted amounts TopBuild could be required to pay under the contingent consideration was between 0 and $0.25 million, which also represents the fair value recognized on the acquisition date. In the first quarter of 2019, we paid $0.25 million in full and had 0 remaining contingent consideration obligation related to Santa Rosa as of March 31, 2019.

13. CLOSURE COSTS

We generally recognize expenses related to closures and position eliminations at the time of announcement or notification. Such costs include termination and other severance benefits, lease abandonment costs, and other transition costs. Closure costs are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as selling, general, and administrative expense. In our condensed consolidated balance sheets, accrued severance closure costs are reflected as accrued liabilities and accrued lease abandonment costs are reflected as short-term and long-term lease liabilities.

In connection with the acquisition of USI, management performed an evaluation of the resources necessary to effectively operate the acquired business. During the second quarter of 2018, management committed to a plan to close the USI corporate office in St. Paul, Minnesota, and consolidate certain administrative functions to our Daytona Beach, Florida, Branch Support Center. As a result, the Company incurred approximately $6.9 million of closure costs in connection with this activity of which $6.7 million was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 and $0.2 million was incurred during the first quarter of 2019, which completed the anticipated costs of the program. Closure costs pertaining to the USI acquisition are primarily included in general corporate expenses for segment reporting purposes.

The following table details our total estimated closure costs, by cost type, pertaining to the above closure and transition related to the USI acquisition (in thousands):


Segment / Cost Type	Closure Costs Liability at December 31, 2018		Closure Costs Incurred for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019		Cash Payments for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019		Non-Cash Adjustments for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019		Closure Costs Liability at September 30, 2019

15. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation. We are subject to certain claims, charges, litigation, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defects, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, antitrust, and other matters, including class actions. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters, and we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on us. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in any of these pending matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our liquidity and our results of operations.

Other Matters. We enter into contracts which include customary indemnities that are standard for the industries in which we operate. Such indemnities include, among other things, customer claims against builders for issues relating to our products and workmanship. In conjunction with divestitures and other transactions, we occasionally provide customary indemnities relating to various items including, among others: the enforceability of trademarks; legal and environmental issues; and asset valuations. We evaluate the probability that we may incur liabilities under these customary indemnities and appropriately record an estimated liability when deemed probable.

We occasionally use performance bonds to ensure completion of our work on certain larger customer contracts that can span multiple accounting periods. Performance bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. Other types of bonds outstanding were principally license and insurance related.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

TopBuild, headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, is a leading installer and distributor of insulation and other building products to the U.S. construction industry. We trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “BLD.”

We operate in two segments: Installation (TruTeam) and Distribution (Service Partners). Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products nationwide through our TruTeam contractor services business, which, as of September 30, 2019, had close to 200 branches located in 40 states. We install various insulation applications, including fiberglass batts and rolls, blown-in loose fill fiberglass, blown-in loose fill cellulose, and polyurethane spray foam. Additionally, we install other building products including rain gutters, glass and windows, fire proofing, garage doors, shower enclosures, and closet shelving. We handle every stage of the installation process, including procurement supplied by leading manufacturers, project scheduling and logistics, multi-phase professional installation, and installation quality assurance.

Our Distribution segment sells and distributes insulation and other building products, including rain gutters, fireplaces, closet shelving, and roofing materials through our Service Partners business, which, as of September 30, 2019, had approximately 75 branches located in 32 states. Our Service Partners customer base consists of thousands of insulation contractors of all sizes, gutter contractors, weatherization contractors, other contractors, dealers, metal building erectors, and modular home builders.

We believe that having both TruTeam and Service Partners provides us with a number of distinct competitive advantages. First, the combined buying power of our two business segments, along with our national scale, strengthens our ties to the major manufacturers of insulation and other building products. This helps to ensure we are buying competitively and ensures the availability of supply to our local branches and distribution centers. The overall effect is driving efficiencies through our supply chain. Second, being a leader in both installation and distribution allows us to more effectively reach a broader set of builder customers, regardless of their size or geographic location in the U.S., and leverage housing growth wherever it occurs. Third, during industry downturns, many insulation contractors who buy directly from manufacturers during industry peaks return to purchasing through distributors. As a result, this helps to reduce our exposure to cyclical swings in our business.

For additional details pertaining to our operating results by segment, see Note 6 – Segment Information to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Income tax expense		(16,615)			(14,356)
Net income	$	54,976		$	42,658
Net margin		8.1	%		6.6	%

Sales and Operations

Net sales increased 5.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from the comparable period of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increased selling prices and increased sales volume in our commercial markets.

Gross profit margins were 26.3 percent and 25.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to increased selling prices, operational efficiencies, and synergies from the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 14.5 percent and 14.8 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Decreased selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was primarily the result of lower acquisition and closure costs related to the USI acquisition.

Operating margins were 11.8 percent and 10.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to increased selling prices, increased sales volume, operational efficiencies, synergies from the USI acquisition, and lower acquisition and closure costs related to the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Installation

Sales

Sales in the Installation segment increased $33.9 million, or 7.3 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Sales increased 3.8 percent due to volume and 3.0 percent due to increased selling prices.

Operating margins

Operating margins in the Installation segment were 14.0 percent and 13.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to increased selling prices, increased sales volume, operational efficiencies, and synergies from the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Distribution

Sales

Sales in the Distribution segment increased $8.0 million, or 3.8 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Sales increased 4.4 percent due to increased selling prices and decreased 0.7 percent due to volume. Volume decreased primarily due to deliberate decisions with respect to prices and volume, as well as the decision to exit some low margin business.

Operating margins

Operating margins in the Distribution segment were 10.6 percent and 9.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to increased selling prices and operational efficiencies, partially offset by higher material costs.

Other expense, net, which primarily consisted of interest expense, was $8.9 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $16.6 million, an effective tax rate of 23.2 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $14.4 million, an effective tax rate of 25.2 percent, for the comparable period in 2018. The lower 2019 effective tax rate was due to a larger benefit related to share-based compensation and a favorable return to accrual adjustment, partially offset by changes in state tax rates.

FIRST NINE MONTHS 2019 VERSUS FIRST NINE MONTHS 2018

The following table sets forth our net sales, gross profit, operating profit, and margins, as reported in our condensed

consolidated statements of operations, in thousands:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Sales and Operations

Net sales increased 12.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from the comparable period of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by our USI acquisition and increased selling prices.

Gross profit margins were 26.0 percent and 24.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to increased selling prices, higher sales growth in our Installation segment vs. Distribution segment, operational efficiencies, and synergies from the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales, was 15.1 percent and 15.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Decreased selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was primarily the result of lower acquisition and closure costs related to the USI acquisition.

Table of Contents

Operating margins were 10.9 percent and 8.2 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins related to increased selling prices, increased sales volume, operational efficiencies, synergies from the USI acquisition, and lower acquisition and closure costs related to the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Installation

Sales

Sales in the Installation segment increased $207.4 million, or 17.0 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. Sales increased 9.5 percent from acquired branches, 4.3 percent due to increased selling prices and 3.1 percent due to volume.

Operating margins

Operating margins in the Installation segment were 13.2 percent and 11.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to increased selling prices, increased sales volume, operational efficiencies, and synergies from the USI acquisition, partially offset by higher material costs.

Distribution

Sales

Sales in the Distribution segment increased $32.6 million, or 5.4 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. Sales increased 1.8 percent from acquired branches, 5.4 percent due to increased selling prices and decreased 1.8 percent due to volume. Volume decreased primarily due to deliberate decisions with respect to prices and volume, as well as the decision to exit some low margin business.

Table of Contents

Operating margins

Operating margins in the Distribution segment were 10.2 percent and 9.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to increased selling prices and operational efficiencies, partially offset by higher material costs.

OTHER ITEMS

Other expense, net

Other expense, net, which primarily consisted of interest expense, was $27.2 million and $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily related to the issuance of our $400.0 million Senior Notes and our borrowing of the $100.0 million delayed draw term loan to fund our acquisition of USI in the second quarter of 2018 which resulted in an additional $8.5 million of interest expense.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $40.9 million, an effective tax rate of 22.0 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $28.9 million, an effective tax rate of 23.1 percent, for the comparable period in 2018. The lower 2019 effective tax rate was due to a larger benefit from share-based compensation and a favorable return to accrual adjustment, partially offset by changes in state tax rates.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Significant sources (uses) of cash and cash equivalents are summarized for the periods indicated, in thousands:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018
Changes in cash and cash equivalents:
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	182,779	$	96,033
Net cash used in investing activities		(38,288)		(542,512)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(73,829)		483,421
Increase for the period	$	70,662	$	36,942

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $86.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily due to an increase in net income, the timing of accounts receivable collections and inventory expenditures, and utilization of 2018 tax prepayments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $38.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily composed of $34.1 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily vehicles, and $6.5 million for the acquisition of Viking, partially offset by $2.2 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $542.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily composed of $500.7 million of net cash for the acquisition of USI and ADO and substantially all of the assets of Santa Rosa, and $42.4 million for purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.5 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities was $73.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used $52.2 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Repurchase Program, $19.4 million for payments on our term loan under our Amended Credit Agreement and on our equipment notes, and $11.1 million on purchases of common stock for tax withholding obligations related to the vesting and exercise of share-based incentive awards. We also made payments totaling $1.1 million for contingent consideration for EcoFoam and Santa Rosa. We received $10.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of equipment notes. Net cash provided by financing activities was $483.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We received $400.0 million for the issuance of Senior Notes and $100.0 million from our delayed draw related to our acquisition of USI. We received $20.1 million of proceeds from equipment financing notes. We used $11.9 million for payments on our term loan, $7.8 million for payment of debt issuance costs related to our Amended Credit Agreement and our Senior Notes, $5.4 million for purchases of common stock for tax withholding obligations related to the vesting and exercise of share-based incentive awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and $1.2 million for payments on our equipment financing notes. We also made a payment of $0.8 million of contingent consideration for EcoFoam. We drew $90.0 million on our Revolving Facility and made repayments of $90.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

We have access to liquidity through our cash from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Agreement, which provides for borrowing and/or standby letter of credit issuances of up to $250.0 million under the Revolving Facility. We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital for at least the next twelve months. Cash flows are seasonally stronger in the third and fourth quarters as a result of historically increased new construction activity during those periods.

The following table summarizes our liquidity, in thousands:


	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Cash and cash equivalents (a)	$	171,591	$	100,929

Total liquidity	$	360,209	$	291,641

(a) Our cash and cash equivalents consist of AAA-rated money market funds as well as cash held in our demand deposit accounts.

We occasionally use performance bonds to ensure completion of our work on certain larger customer contracts that can span multiple accounting periods. Performance bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the related contractual performance is completed. We also have bonds outstanding for licensing and insurance.

OUTLOOK

Housing starts improved in the third quarter, on a year over year basis, for the first time this year. Low mortgage rates, a pivot by builders to more affordable housing and a strong economy, have helped to drive this improvement. Long-term supply and demand fundamentals continue to point towards growth in new home construction. In addition, both light and heavy commercial remain fundamentally strong industries and attractive growth opportunities for TopBuild.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we were issued additional standby letters of credit under our normal operating procedures which decreased our availability under the Revolving Facility by $4.2 million. See Note 4 – Long-Term Debt to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for our outstanding standby letters of credit balance as of September 30, 2019.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019, except for the impact to our operating lease obligations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 “Leases” on January 1, 2019. For operating lease obligations calculated under the new guidance as of September 30, 2019, see Note 7 – Leases to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report for year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.

APPLICATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information regarding application of new accounting standards is incorporated by reference from Note 2 – Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report that reflect our views about future periods, including our future plans and performance, constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “designed,” “plan,” or “intend,” the negative of these terms, and similar references to future periods. These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you against unduly relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Our future performance may be affected by our reliance on residential new construction, residential repair/remodel, and commercial construction; our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers; our ability to attract, develop, and retain talented personnel and our sales and labor force; our ability to maintain consistent practices across our locations; and our ability to maintain our competitive position. We discuss the material risks we face under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019, as well as under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Our forward-looking statements in this filing speak only as of the date of this filing. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Amended Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $250.0 million, $100.0 million of additional term loan capacity under a delayed draw feature, which we accessed on May 1, 2018 upon consummation of the acquisition of USI, and the Revolving Facility in the amount of $250.0 million. In addition, on April 25, 2018, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes bear a fixed rate of interest and therefore are excluded from the calculation below as they are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest payable on both the term loan facility and the Revolving Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on a variable interest rate. As a result, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on this outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 2019, we had $312.2 million outstanding under our term loan facility, and the applicable interest rate as of such date was 3.36%. Based on our outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would result in a $3.0 million increase in our annualized interest expense. There was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2019.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) in the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
